I read a lot of books & stories by Brits, so both sets of spellings look correct to me now. I also find myself saying "my family are coming to brunch" instead of "is" - "family" is singular in the US - and "I'm going on holiday" instead of "on vacation," etc., probably because of all the British movies I watch. The way we imagine our lives is the way we are going to go on living our lives.
